Condition
Not viewed out of the frame. Executed on cream wove paper which appears to have been affixed with tabs to the backing card. The sheet undulates very slightly but otherwise appears sound. The edges of the sheet are uneven in places, and the right and part of the upper edge are deckled. In the lower right corner there is a minor crease which could be an old tear, measuring less than 1cm. The work is in overall good condition.
The work is float mounted and presented in a simple wooden frame, housed under glass.
